Maxie Baer as heavyweight boxing king; the golf Challenge to Reduce Grid Fatalities Issued to Preparatory, High Schools: MAX BAER TO RISK BOX OFFICE __POWERIN BOUT WITH LEVINSKY New York University Official Submits Remedy for Un- diminishing Death Toll New York, Dec. 28—(7)—A sharp challenge to high and preparatory schools to reduce their football death toll was issued Friday by Prof. Floyd H. Eastwood of New York university in reporting the results of a four-! Year survey of football fatalities. Fatal injuries in college, athletic Club and sandiot games are decreas- | ing, Eastwood told the American Football Coaches association. In contrast, the undiminshing number of high and preparatory school fatal- ities form an increasing percentage of the total. The percentage was 56.5 this year against 36.3 in 1931. The record is even more alarming, he said, if deaths from infection— which he does not list as directly at- tributable to football—are included. There were five such among high school players last fall. The remedy, he believes, is not un- attainable and he lists the following Program: Outlines Program | 1. An association of high school football coaches to do in high school football what the American Football ‘Coaches association has done for the college sport; 2. Raise the standards for em- Ployment of high school coaches, re- quiring them to have, in addition to football and coaching experience, ad- vanced courses under leading football teachers; 3. Teach a rolling rather than a! head-on tackle; to block so that the Soft parts of the body will be con-| tacted; to tuck in their chins when falling backward after being tackled er blocked in order to avoid concus-| ion; 4. Provide a thorough physical ex- amination before practice or a game. 5. Provide adequate first aid fa- lities on the field of play to decrease! deaths from infection; 6. Observe caution in seeing that a player is thoroughly irmed up” before he is sent into a game.

The mentor of the western repre- sentatives, who boasts that he keeps no grid secrets, had this to say of his squad as he threw the gates of Brookside park wide open again for another workout. “I did a lot of talking last year, said good natured Tiny, “i fasts and luncheons and dinners and over the radio, and then we lost to Columbia. “Now here I am, back in town, talk- ing again.

RIGHT DOWN #sxYOUR ALLEY Sometimes, on a thin hit to the left of the head pin, one of the most difficult .splits of all bobs up. This is the 5-6 calamity, which is particu- larly hard for a right-handed bowler throwing a hook ball. To negotiate this split, the ball must -be thrown so that its path at the point of contact is directly in the center of the space between the pins, The bsll is just wide enough to pick off both pins if this is donc. ‘Unless s “hooker” has exceptional control, a straight ball bowler has the in making this type of split. But it can be made with a hook— in two ways, In throwing the hook down the alley, don’t drop it on the corner, as in the case when shooting for Throw it far- ther down the slides, and closer to, topped the league! the gutter. ‘This will cause the ball space between the two balls, and will be an exhibition—but a knockout in the won and lost columns with 30) to take the english later, and sweep your regular victory for the Kingfish would give| victories and 7 defeats and thus be-!into position for the correct hit. | him a claim difficult for anyone to laugh off.

Both Baer and Levinsky apparently intend to make a fight of it, for they will use six-ounce gloves, instead of eight-ounce ones. Also, they will use about half the usual yardage of tape and gauze in bandaging their hands, which indicates it will be more of a fight than an exhibition. The commission has ruled that in case of a knockdown, the regulation maneuvers, such as shooing the boxer on his feet to the farthest neutral corner, will be observed. However, the teferee will not count. The counting will be done by the timekeepr, and if the man on the canvas fails to re- gain his feet at the count of “ten,” the referee will retire from the ring without saying anything.

Amercan Football Coaches associa- tion despite the fact that 80 per cent of the coaches are quite well satisfied with the playing code es it stands. A list of nine changes which Joe McKenney of Boston College pre- bared for submission to the associa tion Friday includes proposals to put the goal posts back on the goal line, to permit forward passing from any point behind the line of scrimmage and to allow the defensive team to advance with a recovered fumble. ‘These three ate incorporated in the brofessional rules, frankly aimed at providing a better show for the cus= tomers, Majority Stands Pat Although the suggested amend- ments will be placed before the na- tional rules committee for consider- ation at its annual session later in . the winter, McKenney explained that @ questionnaire had revealed a large majority of the coaches in favor of letting the rules stand as they are at least for another year. McKenney is chairman of the association's com- mittee on rules. Other suggested changes would: ” allow incoming substitutes to com- municate, clarify the rule on when “forward progress” of player in pos- zession of the ball is stopped; compel umpires to notify coach when legal time-outs expire; allow any forward pass into end zone (except on fourth down) to be ruled as incompleted pass; apply penalty for second for- ward pass, during same play, to be inflicted from spot of foul and not at the spot of preceding down; apply Penalty for attempted lateral pass: which results in a forward pass, from spot of foul and not at the spot of the preceding down. Pass Rule Clarified ‘The association as a whole, it was expected, would endorse the two sug- gestions involving passing penalties as well as the suggestion for clarifi- cation of the “forward progress” rule which caused many conflicting deci- aions during the past season. Besides discussing the rules and hearing a dozen talks on technical phases of the game, the coaches were slated to elect Bernie Bierman of Minnesota president, succeeding Dana X. Bible of Nebraska. Bible, in his report as president, viewed football’s future with an optie tmistic eye. The National Collegiate A.
